March Break is a bittersweet time because you get a week off from school, homework and getting up early, but it’s often still too cold outside to fully enjoy the holidays. In order to ensure your March Break is memorable weather there is a snow storm outside or not, we’ve come up with some funky and unique ways for your to spend your vacation!
6. Have a movie marathon: Gather all your friends to spend an entire day or an entire night (or both if you’re tough enough!) doing nothing but watching movies! Make it interesting by coming up with a theme. For example, you could decide to watch all eight of the HARRY POTTER films from beginning to end or watch every movie starring your favroutie actor or watch movies about kids on holiday.
5. Have a reading marathon: Set a goal for yourself to read a certain number of books by the end of the break, then hit the library! You can make it interesting for yourself by limiting yourself to just chapter books, books by a single author or books in a single genre. Keep track of all the books you read and even if you don’t reach your goal, we bet you’ll still have a pretty impressive list to show off!
4. Pick up a new skill: Is there something you’ve always wanted to learn to do, but never felt you had the time? Well, you’ve got all the time in the world, now! The internet is full of video tutorials and instructions on how to do everything from learning to play an instrument to becoming a pro magician. The library is also a great resource for ideas and instruction and when you get back to school, you’ll have a new talent you can impress your classmates with!
3. Become a tourist in your own city: After a few years of living in the same city, you stop appreciating its quirks and attraction. Why not use this March Break to get reacquainted with your city or hometown? Act like a tourist and visit the main landmarks and attractions of your city as if you’ve never seen them before. You can even take a bus tour of your city! We guarantee you’re likely to develop a whole new appreciation for your city and learn something new along the way!
2. Go star gazing: Now that you don’t have to get up early every day, you can stay up a little later and admire the stars! If you have a telescope, use it to check out all those constellations you probably learned about in school but haven’t seen in real life yet. You can even check out some planets which are visible from Earth and check to see if there are supposed to be any shooting stars you should keep an eye out for.
1. Put on a performance: You have a whole week and you need to keep busy. How about writing, directing and starring in your very own play or movie? All you need is an idea, some dedication and some willing participants. If you want, you can even record it and make your own movie to show to your class when you return to school! Just have fun with it!
